Using Google Maps With a Photo Album

neil1979 writes "This site has a tutorial on using Google Maps with your photo album. Each album has a latitude and longitude so it shows up as a pin on a map of the world. When you click a pin, up pops the highlight photo for the albums at that location. Clicking again brings up that album. Makes a great front page to a gallery. Includes a demo with 200 albums from the author's travels. He provides all his code for interfacing with Google maps. Seriously awesome feature for people who travel a lot."

This was done by Flickr about a year ago:

Here's my tutorial

1. Install drupal with the image, image_gallery, gmap, location, and gmap_location modules enabled.
2. ?
3. Profit! (okay, you might need the ecommerce module for this step.)

This combination will allow you to upload images, organize them into galleries, and display them with location information.

The locations of nodes can be plotted on a map (links to demos can be found from the gmap module project node) just so.

That guy's solution provides a niftier image browser popup, but the overall functionality is available through drupal without having to write any code.
